They should make a prequel movie, a novel, and a broadway musical as well.

... oh wait.

Wouldn't the sequel just be the Wizard of Oz?

Mmm, feel that creativity. There's money to be made so sequels need to be "figured out". Or you could just make films when you have stories to tell?

No? Well I guess that's why I don't have a private jet.

There's a prequel that focuses on Dorothy. They should make that into a movie.

I think it's called "The Grapes of Wrath".

Cinematic Universes are the future of cinema! By which I mean it's all they're going to make so you better learn to like them.

Not sure Cynthia Erivo's or Ariana Grande's mental state could survive a third+ film.

Gross.

Ah you know what, fair enough. As much as, to me, all these universes feel like the inauthentic, uncreative, soulless machinations of an algorithm-led profit committee, I'm sure much of the art I like is shitty pretentious drivel to other people.

The world is fucked, everything is hard. If people like this, I'm happy they've got something that makes their life feel easier, just for a bit.

Movie makes money, owners receiving profit swear they will seek more money with more products!

Hopefully it's at least good. My wife will drag me to see this eventually.

People still go to the movies?

Isn't there a book about her kid?

Elphaba and Glenda will return...

Awesome!

Wicked is the best Wizard Oz product since the 1939 sequel.

I adore The Wiz but it does have its warts.
